I too used a Mac in elementary school! It too have been in IT for 15 years now.
But your story doesn’t mesh well….
If you are as poor as you say, why spend so much money on Macs? You know the software, hardware, and repairs are much more than you would spend vs. a Windows machine. Why are you trying to “rid yourself of Microsoft product as much as I can”? What have they done to you? Bill Gates has contributed great causes with his money. He has poured more money to benefit poor and impoverished people all over the world. HE, alone has given more than many nations combined. What does Steve Jobs give? NOTHING. All he does is purchase more 90’s black crew neck shirts (15 years behind the fashion scene, real cool!!!). He’s selfish and self-centered like most Apple fans.

I have 3 Macs and 2 Windows laptops at home, I run Knoppix, Ubuntu, Windows XP, Vista, OSX.

I don’t hate OSX, I think it’s great at the few things it can do. But MS does soooooo much more, there is no comparison. What I do hate are all the Apple fa**ots. Most of the biggest a**holes I have dealt with in my career surprisingly (or not) use Apple products. And they must have “everything” Apple. It’s really sickening. If I were to buy Sony everything, I would be a freak.

By the way, I never said the Apple fanboys are rich.

Do you recall that 1984 Apple commercial where they claim to “break-away” from big brother? Well, it’s pretty ironic. If you see the commercial (Youtube it), that’s precisely what Apple has become…the controlling monster they freed us from. Watch the commercial, although MS is 100 times bigger than Apple, Apple customers are just like all those marching zombies! You cant break away from Apple. You cant install your own hardware or move your OS to a completely new box you built on your own. MS doesn’t restrict its users as much as Apple does, but the fanboys keep taking it up the a**. It’s kind of sad.

Two: how are the Mac PC ads inaccurate
I personal doesn’t recall seeing anything inaccurate.
@ Joey Blaze
All desktop OS’s or either Unix, or Unix-like, besides Windows.

@ bdBruno
I’m a 28 year old black male, married with a 3 month old son.
I have diabetes.
I have an MCSE 2003, worked in IT for a large oil company in the earlier part of the decade; I now work in telco for a large telco company.
I have been using Windows since Windows 3.1 (or maybe 3.0, but out of the Windows 3.x’s I used 3.11 for work groups the longest)
A Mac was the first computer I used (in grade school).
I came to hate Mac’s in the mid, to late 90’s
Once OS X came out in the 2000’s I quit hating Mac’s.
Once Vista was release in 07, I felt I needed to pull away from Bills Gates control over my computer life. In which i found myself with two Windows Laptops, and two Windows desktops. Two of which belonged to me, the other 2 belonged to the company I work for.
I started by installing Linux on my desktop at the house which I loved, and I learned more about Unix which helped me at work. Then I got a used Powerbook G4, and loved.
Went from Tiger to Leopard on that machine.
I bought my wife a Macbook earlier this year, and myself a Macbook Pro a month ago.
So bdBruno I’m not a student, I’m not rich, and I’m not trying be cool.
I was broke each time I bought after a mac.
I’m trying to do is rid myself of Microsoft product as much as I can.
Why you ask, well if you knew your computer history, you would understand.
I believe people need to stand up to Microsoft and say we don’t need you Bill Gates.
I don’t need a Zune, I don’t need a HP 26900 with Vista home premium, I don’t need an Xbox.
One of the only visible companies trying to stand up to Microsoft is Apple. Most other companies who have stud up, have been destroyed, or bought out.

The rest of this post is for Likeabite, since he’s the dumbest kid in an already dumb room: One thing to clear up big guy. . .Apple doesn’t pay MS for anything it sells. This is a ridiculous assertion of which both the Obama and McCain campaigns would be proud. Now, MS did invest in Apple years ago, so they may still benefit from share appreciation. Think about it. . .if MS were “in charge,” would these ads have continued for as long as they have? Even the other tools here have grasped this, but somehow you have not. Apple isn’t paying anyone for OS X, and to make such a claim is demonstrative of your irrationality. . .you really do need help.

Everybody knows that Macs are easier to use, have fewer problems, and are just plain more fun! We do not have to worry about one of the 32048390482 new viruses out there every day, nor do we have to press “yes” every four seconds when our computer is trying to do something– Are you SURE you want to do this?…(4 seconds later)…Are you SUPER SURE WITH SUGAR ON TOP you want to do this?…

My Crackberry Curve can do everything your iPhone can do and then some. I have mms and I’m on 4.5 so I can record some kick ass video.

By the way, let me try to figure out Apple. They are trying to be “cool”. The only “Cool” people I see with iPods and Macs are really old people who are in denial of their age. they color their hair to hide the greys. The other people I see are stupid kids who cry to their parents for an Apple product. These kids are to naive to know what cool is.

Apple = Pretentious hollow people trying to fill a void.

Windows = Down-to-earth, get the job done and still capable of having fun, if not, even more fun.

How will Apple make up for the disaster called iPhone? I now use mine simply as an MP3 player with all of its other gadgets. I had a Zune, but got rid of it because it sucked balls. The iPhone is far, far from competing with the Blackberry.
BTW, Vista has really improved over the past year. I got it the day it came out and shelved the hard drive until SP1 came out. Since then, it has really been solid. And now I’m starting to roll it out on our enterprise. We are a clothing manufacturer so we have 85 Mac, 230 XP, and 53 Vista installations (3 of them running on Mac hardware).

Hit the BGR Pal jump for the Pharrell interview and he specifically states that is a MAC fan “for sure”!!!!

BG Question: “So… Mac or PC?”
Pharrell Answer: “Oh! Mac FOR SURE…”

Hmm… Let Apple get a hold of that one!!

Yeah, that bite in the apple might be Microsoft chomping their ideas hard but it’s not like Apple didn’t steal too. They stole their OS from Xerox didn’t they? Isn’t their current OS basicly FreeBSD or something? iPhone looks a lot like that Prada phone. Hardly the first phone with a friggin touch screen and mp3 capabilities. Only thing that made iPhone hot was that browser and now Google went and spoiled that for them by putting the webkit browser in Android.

Most people that claim Windows Vista is crap never used it. I’ve had Vista for months now and it hasn’t crashed once. I put a load on it too. I usually have Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and a ton of tabs on Firefox open at the same time.

It’s been a long time coming for Microsoft to defend itself. These commercials are exactly what I had hoped for. Showing the various facets of our world, all linked by the Windows PC. It appears that Microsoft wants to link people while Apple looks to put down the majority and segregate.

By the way I have 3 PCs and 2 Apples at home. I use each for its particular strengths. For the most part, I use Windows (whether its on PC hardware or on the Mac).

I’m Skeptic by nature, which means I don’t blindly close my eyes to defend a particular religion or Apple (it appears they are almost the same).

Also, someone above me referred to MS as the Borg; think again. Who’s trying to assimilate who here?? Apple is with their inaccurate, but funny ads that people mindlessly accept as truth.

The ads aren’t terrible, they make their point fairly clear…
